Chapter 231 Highbury Hall of Music

"The defending champion of the Premier League, Sixteen Lang every year"

That's not something to be proud of.

However, for the sake of long-term development, even if they fail to enter the quarter-finals or semi-finals in two or three years, it is worthwhile to be able to win the league championship.

After all, those bonuses are nothing compared to the Premier League championship trophy.

The Champions League is of course more important, but the Champions League is also more difficult, and Shao Bo does not want to put his hopes there.

Arsenal still have heavy tasks, Shao Bo's burden is not light!

Vieira's attitude made Shao Bo very upset, and his indifferent attitude towards Real Madrid is not what an Arsenal captain should show.

In Shao Bo's memory, even Wenger, who had achieved an undefeated record, failed to keep Vieira, let alone him.

That being the case, it is better to plan early.

At the time of the deal with Zola, Terry, who was less than 18 years old, was counted as an "additional head" and was given to Arsenal at a price of 50 pounds.

Several years have passed since then.

Strictly speaking, he is not from Arsenal's youth training.However, he did sign his first professional contract here at Arsenal.

At that time, Shao Bo told Terry that the current team has many senior defenders with outstanding strength, and he still needs to work hard for a few years if he wants to make his mark.

Terry, who understands that it is not easy for small players in big clubs, nodded in agreement with Shao Bo's opinion, and has accumulated a lot of experience during the few years on loan.

After being promoted to the first team this season, Trichi's appearances are also remarkable.

In addition, he is an Englishman who was born in East London. He has always shown people with a short hair. His appearance is a bit rude but not vulgar, which is in line with the image of a traditional English player.

Although he has not played many games so far, he has been remembered by fans and has his own personal song.

Speaking of which, every first-team player at Arsenal has their own fan song.

Shorter or longer, more or less.

A player's status in Arsenal and his popularity with fans can generally be seen from the frequency with which his songs are sung on the pitch.

Although Highbury was ridiculed by fans of other teams in the past as the "Library Stadium", they said that their fans were not passionate enough and did not like to shout on the stadium.

But the situation has improved in recent years, and the key lies in the songs.

Shao Bo plagiarized the famous song "Hot Sutff" in advance after he won the double crown at the beginning. After tasting the sweetness, he was out of control, and almost every year he searched for the passionate melody from his memory. Update the fans' playlist.

Not only must there be passion, but also it cannot be a song that is shot too fast on the street. After all, it is best that this kind of song can be sung by fans on the court to achieve the best effect.

As for sales, of course fans of the team will pay for it, so there is no need to worry.

Therefore, although "HotStuff" also came out when he won the first double crown, but because the rhythm is too cheerful, it is not suitable for large-scale chorus.

Therefore, a song like "TooHardToSayGoodbye" is more suitable, but it was already used when the veteran parted.

Although after that, every time an Arsenal player leaves, fans will basically sing this song, but it obviously shouldn't be the club's team song.

It's funny to say that a club with a history of more than 100 years doesn't even have an officially designated team song.

Even The Old and Great Arsenal is not considered an official work.

Just like Arsenal's original team logo, even its ownership cannot prove that it is fully owned by the club.

However, this kind of confusing problem is gradually being resolved, and an official team song has also been put on the agenda after the new team logo.

According to Shao Bo's idea, it is to create songs similar to "We are the champions" or "Milan, Milan".The rhythm of the song is neither fast nor slow, and it is also suitable for singing in the stadium.

However, Shao Bo, who was a bit out of his wits, couldn't figure it out.

When he first crossed, he still remembered several hard disk songs in his mind.But as time went by, in order to learn more about football, he probably automatically deleted those songs that he could no longer hear.

Anyway, he is just an amateur music lover. To create a team song that will be sung for a hundred years, such an important project should be left to professionals.

It is precisely because Shao Bo has continuously created (really created by himself) songs related to the club over the years that fans are more likely to be infected with passion on the court.

Moreover, because of his leading role, fans have also created a lot of songs on their own, mainly for individual players and created by fan groups.

One or two sentences, a simple and easy-to-hum melody, is enough.

Music is a language that knows no borders!
Therefore, Highbury is no longer called a "library" anymore.Instead, the media continued to give the title of "Concert Hall" to Arsenal's stadium.

From the songs on the court, we can know that although Terry did not play many games, his performance has been affirmed by the fans.

Although he still has many problems now, such as slow turning and heavy weight, his weaknesses are easily exposed when facing dexterous forwards.

But his ability to defend high-altitude balls and other aspects is beyond doubt, that is, two years is enough for Shao Bo to train him to become the next Campbell.

Yes, he is very similar to the current team's main central defender Campbell's technical characteristics.When the team prepares to reduce the team's expenditure in the future, Campbell's high salary will definitely be a problem.

With Terry, Shaobo can at least choose to sell Campbell to return the funds, and he does not have to greatly increase the salary cap within the team because of Campbell.

Although he will not make the kind of move that requires players to lower their salaries and change their contracts, some financial control should still be done.

Terry is still young, and his salary is also at the lowest level of the first team.If he replaces Campbell, a lot of salary space will be saved invisibly.

What's more, because of Vieira's free attitude, Shao Bo didn't want to award him the captain's armband.

But Terry is still too young now, and he is not from Arsenal's orthodox youth training-the British still value this aspect very much, and it is impossible for Shao Bo to change easily and hand over the captain's armband to Terry easily.

Later, Shao Bo decided that after Adams officially retired, the captain's armband would be handed over to Bergkamp, ​​but the second captain's position was still occupied by Vieira.

Bergkamp has a gentle personality and sufficient qualifications. In addition, no one dares to pat his chest and say that his honor and importance can surpass Bergkamp. As the captain, he can be regarded as convincing.

On the field, Vieira is more in charge of the team's series command.

In this regard, although Shao Bo does not want to hand over the captaincy to him, he has to admit that Vieira has a talent and strength.It is more suitable for him to be the captain.

However, Shao Bo hopes that Terry can grow up quickly during the two-year transition period, so that he can rest assured that he will be entrusted with the heavy responsibility.

These all take time.

And Shao Bo felt that he was running out of time.

Whether it is the pressure brought by the new stadium, or the replacement of the old and the new in the team, or the ensuing gold dollar impact of Abramovich.

These are hidden dangers, and he must try his best to arrange everything in the shortest possible time.Otherwise, the situation in the Premier League and continental Europe will become more complicated and changeable, and his status will no longer be maintained.

This year's goal is still a league championship, and it would be even better if we can win the FA Cup.

Shao Bo has played for so many years, but now he has failed to win the Champions League and the FA Cup.

The Club World Cup is too far away, and it is not within his consideration.

This year, a group of veterans such as Adams and Seaman are about to retire. Shao Bo hopes that in addition to the three consecutive league championships, he can also give them an FA Cup championship as a final gift.

Of course, being greedy, he still hasn't forgotten that he wants to successfully win this year's championship with an undefeated record.

For this goal, they did sacrifice a lot.

Sometimes, in order to seek stability, in order to save the physical strength of the players.The deliberate rotation greatly affects the tacit understanding among the players, resulting in the failure to win many goals that should be won against weak teams.

Moreover, they once again stopped in the round of [-] in the second stage of the Champions League group stage.

Double-killed by Deportivo, one win and one draw with Bayern Munich, just two wins over Rosenborg are not enough for Arsenal to advance to the quarter-finals.

But without the constraints of the Champions League, he can also devote more energy to dealing with domestic enemies.

In the face of Liverpool, which broke the myth of Arsenal's unbeaten game in more than 3 games last season, they were not polite, and they used their main force to win 1:[-] at home at Highbury.

Had it not been for Michael Owen's consolation goal before the finale, Liverpool would have been kept clean here.

Arsenal, who have completely completed their revenge this season, also seems to have let out a sigh of relief in their hearts. The team as a whole is a little different.

Although the fans can only feel it, it can also be reflected in the statistics they don't pay attention to.

Whether it is the goal difference or the success rate of steals and passes, they are doing much better than other teams in the Premier League.

None of the opponents in the FA Cup can stop Arsenal's pace. Although they are slow, they are constantly hitting the championship.

The record of consecutive victories has not been maintained, and there are always occasional draws, making them wait for other opponents in the standings.

Let Ferguson, who is not far behind, feel that they have a chance to hit the league championship and replicate the glory of the beginning of the Premier League.

However, just like molesting their opponents, Arsenal always kept enough points behind them that they could only sigh.
